What's more important? To be able to plow a field? To be able to build a house? To be able to live in a shed grinding grain.
BALDERDASH!
Unless people have adequate financial resources under their own control with no employer to fire them or pension manager to lose their money or, in the latter case, to simply stop paying they're no better off than the lowest wage slave with a negative net worth. The individual who wishes to be self-sufficient needes to take responsibility, to have a decent business with fallback business plans in case of an emergency. Someone who relies on a government or private pension is like the man who doesn't carry a spare tire because he knows that he can trust the tire manufacturerer. The only kind of pension that is likely to remain safe is the IRA. The only safe job is the one that allows the worker to write his own paycheck.
It's still legal to have assets unknown to the government. Do you have any? Could you live on those assets with no other income for even five years? What would happen if you lost your job or company pension? If you're truly self-sufficient, that is, a survivalist, you shouldn't feel a ripple.
Financial survival must come first. Your plowing expertise is useless without a field to plow.
